About

We are SKKRYPTO

Lowering the barrier to blockchain, and digging into how the technology really works — together.

SKKRYPTO is a network of students from many different majors who, dreaming of mainstream blockchain adoption, take a convergent approach to lower the barrier to entry and grow their insight.

We work toward a world where blockchain research reaches many fields and anyone can study and grow together. Since launching in 2018, we've kept going through the pandemic and the crypto winter to this day.
